Someone wrote me off list. They not subscribed but read my post somehow. Anyway, they recommended installing pavucontrol-qt and using the Pro Audio setting. That package was already installed. I'd never used Pro Audio before, didn't know what it was so didn't know it was a usable option. However, when I selected it, all my options came back. I got my three little horizontal lines back. One of the options is HDMI again. So, that's working again. I hope this might help someone else who runs into this problem. I won't be surprised tho if the original option comes back after I log out and back in again. Weirder things have happened. ;-) Thanks to all. Dale :-) :-)
